I'm not really a tacticool junkie like a lot of gun owners (hence my bare bones AR), but this rifle just does something for me. I've never shot a Mossberg rifle, but I really like the setup they have here. The choice between a collapsible stock or a fixed stock is a really cool feature. I like the rail on the top of the receiver, and option of attaching a bipod at the front sling mount. You have two choices for barrels: 20" sporter or 18.5" medium bull barrel with flash hider. The 18.5" medium bull barrel also comes with fixed sights. You can choose between 5.56 or 7.62.

I've already decided that I'm getting one once the finances get back in order.
I wanted a Tavor, but these things are more in line with my price range.

The 18" "patrol" model is what I'm getting. Nothing I like more than a carbine, and while the .223 that could use existing AR mags would be swell, I don't have a .308, and I think it's time to get something that puts big mothereffing holes in stuff, so...

last month i bought an ishapore in 7.62 nato. since i was buying the ammo anyway, i figured i'd try to find a nice but cheap modern 308 i could make a "sniper" style rifle out of. naturally the mvp came up over the course of my search and now i want one in both 308 and 223. damn. i need to win the lottery.
